Gyrfalcon:OK, that gets the prize for Worstly Grammaticized Article Written in Past Tense Presently I've Seen This Year.

Charged with Aggravated Battery on a Firefighter with a Deadly Weapon (Shovel), and Preventing or Obstructing Extinguishment of a Fire was 44-year-old Gregory Sean Turner.

I think pretty much anything is a crime, so long as a cop phrases it that way.

"John Doe, 52, was arrested and charged with Preventing or Obstructing the Parking of a Minivan with Deadly Force." Or " Chantilla Watson, of Newport, was charged with Obstructing the Placement of a Beverage Within a Cupholder in an Aggressive Manner."

Now that I think of it, we may have discovered Meow said the dog's day job.

Shenanigans!:CruiserTwelve: The Lieutenant, fearing he was going to be struck with the shovel, sprayed Turner with the hose and Turner fell to the ground. Turner got up, began swinging his arms and hit the Lieutenant in the helmet with the shovel.

Deputies were called and when they arrived, saw Turner waving his arms, yelling, and walking in an aggressive manner. A deputy deployed a Taser and then handcuffed him.

Taser > firehose

Depends on the size of the hose.

Similar thing happened to my dad years ago. He was officer in charge of a scene where some girl had piled up her cheating bf's clothes on the bed and set fire to them. Fire crew rolled up and started extinguishing it. Crazy lady came after the hose crew with a crowbar.

Dad ordered the 2 1/2" line turned on her.

Even a 1 1/2 line can knock someone on their ass if you run enough pressure.
